Last week I was getting the anodizing off of some aluminum trim on my 64 using oven cleaner, I was doing short spots at a time and doing a little buffing as I went. I got a little oven cleaner on some already buffed aluminum and it dulled it right out, kind of a strange gray color. Did not take much to buff it back out again so it was just a light etching on the surface. It may not be the look you are after right away but it may make it age faster. Do you have a scrap piece of aluminum you could polish and try it on?
